Emotions

Sadness knocked on my door and said, " I'm here to keep you company." I said, " No, leave. I want your other friend , happiness." Sadness said to me that happiness is just an illusion you create for yourself, it doesn't exist I said that's a lie because happiness once visited me and stayed for a while but after happiness left Your sister anxiety decided to visit me along with loneliness Anxiety made me lose sight of the value of life Loneliness made me believe that it was peace, but she fooled me Anxiety killed my consciousness Anxiety almost killed my inner self but love , peace, and happiness came to rescue me Your best friend , anger has been with me since day one I have tried to ease anger with forgiveness bit it felt useless Your bestie has been growing rapidly inside me like weed on wetland BY: Tshegofatso Mercy Monakisi
